How to print the TIFF image to PCL file instead of directly to a printer?

This is what I've done in the past. When you go to print, there should be an option to "Print To File". Select that and it will create a *.prn file. When it comes time to print this file, make sure that you have LPT1 mapped to a network printer. Go to a DOS prompt and type -
COPY MYFILE.PRN > LPT1
It should print the file out to the printer that is attached/mapped to LPT1. If you have any questions feel free to email me. Hope this helps...
